2. What are futuristic technologies?
• Futuristic technologies are items and
products that will become available
for purchasing in the future.
• Their features are our
current imagination.

3. Volvo plans self-driving
cars in 2014,
envisions accident-free
fleet by 2020
• Self-driving cars will let
you sit back and text your
BFF all you want without
worrying about a totaled
car.
4. • Think of how many more of your friends
you'll be able to see now that your see-
through smartphone won't block your
field of vision while you're texting!
5. Your fun moment will never
disappear again in a blink of an
eye!!!
Google Glass will give you the ability
to say "Glass, record a video" and

7. Interview
Q: What do you think the next big changes will be?
A: Well, I think one huge change that we’re really just
beginning to look into is mobile devices. America is the
last country to figure out that mobile devices matter. And,
over the past 10 years, if you take a look at what
counties really adopted — mostly mobile phones, but
other devices — it was pretty much the entire planet
except the United States. And the [United States] really
didn’t jump on until the iPhone took off and then Android
phones. So, we are just beginning to see some of the
really big transformations and I think that really
potentially disrupts just about any part of education as
well as civic life. …
with Steve from AIG Tech. Department
8. Q: Looking 10 years into
the future, how do you see
mobile technologies being
used in higher education
classrooms and courses and
how do you see them
changing the way that
institutions go about
teaching?
A: In a classroom, discussion really extends it through space
and time to cover the entire campus. If we use technology
such as augmented reality, we can go even further. So, for
example, if we’re in an art class and working on a project, we
could install that digital project on location in campus so that
our prof or the other students or that so anybody could notice
that object once they reach a certain location of the campus.
Meanwhile, if you and I are working and want to find a third
person, we could use augmented reality later to discover
where that person is so we could meet him or her. We’re just
beginning to look into what this means.
9. Q: How do you see the future in terms of personal
data, its collection, use, and who should control and
regulate this on behalf of internet users?
A: There are some nuanced
differences between how
European and the US
government think about certain
kinds of data, such as
biometric. In Europe it is more
regulated. But there is a bigger
question here. The majority of
the world's countries are
described by Freedom House
as autocratic. As their
populations come online, it is
unlikely that the citizens will find
much protection from their
governments. This means we
have to fight hard to help
safeguard their privacy and
security.
10. Barnes & Noble Shares Jump on Sign of MicrosoftBarnes & Noble Shares Jump on Sign of Microsoft
Interest in NookInterest in Nook
• Shares of Barnes & Noble skyrocketed in early trading on
Thursday after a report said Microsoft was offering $1
billion for the digital assets of the bookseller’s e-reader
business.
• Shares of Barnes & Noble closed up 24.25 percent, at
$22.08.
• Investors appeared encouraged by signs that there might
be a deal for the digital arm of Nook Media. The report
appeared on the technology blog TechCrunch, which cited
internal Microsoft documents.
• Microsoft already owns about 17.6 percent of the Nook
division, having paid $300 million last year. According to
TechCrunch, the company would seek to take over the
unit’s e-books and devices operations.
• The Nook business would then focus on selling through
apps on “third party” devices.
• A person briefed on the matter confirmed the authenticity
of the documents, but added that they appeared to be at
least several weeks old. It is not clear what Microsoft’s
current thinking is or whether it will reach a deal with
Barnes & Noble.
• This person cautioned that any such transaction was at
least several weeks away.
• News of Microsoft’s interest comes over two months
after Leonard S. Riggio, Barnes & Noble’s chairman,
disclosed his effort to buy the bookseller’s 689 stores.
• By consummating deals with Mr. Riggio and Microsoft,
Barnes & Noble could effectively sell off its most viable
businesses at a time when both face significant challenges.
• A spokeswoman for Barnes & Noble declined to comment.
A representative for Microsoft was not immediately
available for comment.
• In December, Pearson, the British educational publisher
and owner of The Financial Times, agreed to acquire a 5
percent stake in Nook Media. That investment valued Nook
Media in its entirety at nearly $1.8 billion.
